During the past few days we have talked exclusively on Men's and Boys' Clothing, and an exceptionally fine lino of
Overcoats which were placed at prices that drew even the attention and presence of Portlanders to givo thorn a trial;
and all who purchased are mightily proud of the bargains tin y realized.
Now, We I
m Something Else to Say
13 is this: We have in stock a rich and varied assortment of Underwear and Neckwear that in comparison is fully as reasonable to buy as the Clothing.
Really these goods must be seen to be appreciated. They are new strictly so in material ami design, and are identically the same class of ;oods as will be found on sale at this moment in the
leading houses of New York City.
- - UNDERWEAR --
Read the price we are now making on Swift's goods. As
is well known, Mr. Swift is recognized the country over as the
most conscientious manufacturer in this line to be found any
where. SWIFT'S CONDE WOOL-RIBBED UNDER
WEAR, $1.50 per suit. Always heretofore they have been
more than cheap at $2.00.
Here is a line of Camel's Hair and National. Wool Un
derwear at 50 cents per garment. They are excellent for the
price asked and are sure to please the purchaser. Many of
our best people select them by reason of the soft character of
the material.
While inspecting this department, auk uko to m o Ixt K
T-B. Tliese are what are known ns Ribbed Wool Shirts and
Drawers. We have decidi-d for a few days only to Hell them
at $2.00 a suit. This is a remarkably low figure, if you are
posted as to values in this direction.
And now we are making a still further cut on the justly celebrated Lu
zerne Underwear. Think of it! Only $2.50 a suit. We have just been
selling it at $3.00, but we want the bulk of Astoria's trade and we propose
to get it. You cannot beat this price nor the goods anywhere on earth.
This Week, Wright's Health-Fleeced Underwear, $2.50 per suit. All who
wear underwear will understand that this is an amazingly cheap price for
Wright's noted make, They are unexcelled for winter on account of be
ing fleece-lined on the inside.
In the same connection we have the Famous Arabian Fierce Underwear.
We are also cutting it for the time being to $2.50 per suit.
Chjpfc Attention all ! Fancy Bosom and Colored Body

after examining the quality you won't believe it, but it is the
truth., We are going to sell these very same shirts this week

ADOPTS THE CANNED BEEP
It is Considered a Good Wholesome
Ration Notwithstanding the Uproar
Made In the Spanish War.
P. Hugo Sksad of the City Club, Cape
Town, South Africa, -was a visitor at
the agriculture department lately arid
had a long talk with Secretary Wilson,
Bays a special to the St. Louis Glube
Democrat. The special object of his
Vlfllt was to secure advice from Secre
tary Wilson as to the best plan in the
army which Is now fighting In the Phil-'
Ippines.
"No country In the history of the
world has ever given such generous
treatment to Ks soldiers as the United
States gave to Its army during the
Spanish war, and Is now giving to the
army which !s engaged In putting down
the Insurrection In Luzon. Why, we are
now sending refrigerated beef to Ma
nila, and are building an immense re
frigerating plant there, so that the sol
diers of Oen. Otis' army can have re-,
frigerated beef at all times. This Is the!
same beef which we send to England, j
and which Is the highest priced beefj
In the English market. It Is the best :
beef In the world. The British soldiers j
In South Africa are not likely to get'
any of this kind of b-ef, because, as I
said, England Is not prepared to fur-'
nish It to them, even if she desired to
do so. The English soldiers fighting
with the Boers will have to get along
with our canned beef and canned pork
meats. And I have no doubt whatever
they will get along very well with
them.
"Ir. normal llms we send 400,000
head -if cattle to England a year. The
Increased demand for our cattle In con
s -riu-nce of the war will raise the price.

which the war in South Africa is bring
ing to the United States, and Secretary
Wilson discoursed upon it to the Olobe
Democrai representative in a must In
teresting manner. He said:
"Of course the war will greatly in
crease our trade with Great Britain.
The. producers of th United States are
already reaping benefits from the oondl
ditions In South Africa. In normal
times 54 per cent of all the things we
sell goes to Great Britain. That per
cent Is certain to be largely increased
during the present year.
"Great Britain is dependent upon us
for her supplies. She is now purchas
ing from us for the use of her army in
South Africa large quantities of canned
beef about which such a howl went up
in this country during the Spanish war.
There is nothing the matter with that
beef; it is the best of its kind In the
world, and England knows It. She has
been using large quantities of it for
years. England Is compelled to uso the
beef. She can not feed her army In
Africa on refrigerated b:f, such as
have lyn in dangT of violence. But
now that we have recovered our senses
I may remark that hsrd tack Is the
rrKit pef-.-ct ratlm known to men, ex
cept milk.
"Speaking of nllk, I think It quite
likely that the British will buy a great
deal of condensed milk from us for
their soldiers In South Africa. Inas
much as the British army cannot enjoy
the luxury of ;-efrlgerat-d bef, such
a? our buys In Luzon are supplied with,
I have suggested to them that they
might find something like a substitute
In jerked beef. There is not much of
II Is to be had l the United States,
but the South American countries turn
out a great deal of It. It keeps well, is
nutritious, and I believe would make
an excellent ration.
"Th'i Increased demand for horses and
miles In consequence of the Transvaal
war has sent up the price of thefe
animals and this is another source of
profit to our farmers. And where do
you think all these supplies of grain
and cattle, which we are now supply-
